Positive Effect of Manganese (III) Meso-Tetrakis (4-Benzoic Acid) Porphyrin on Stallion Spermatozoa During Storage in Cool Condition

Vanadium oxide doped with K, Li, Bi, Sb, Te, U or Mo oxide, supported on TiO2 - anatase, was studied by temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The influence of the addition of promoters (up to molar ratio M : V = 0.5) to 5 wt.% V2O5/TiO2 catalyst on the TPR profile is presented in correlation with their catalytic activity in the vapor phase oxidation of toluene. All promoters, except Bi2O3, decrease the catalyst reducibility and decrease the rate of the toluene oxidation. A strong negative influence on the activity of the toluene oxidation have K, Li, and Te oxides. However, the presence of all tested promoters in the molar ratio M : V = 0.05 has a positive effect on the selectivity of benzoic acid formation. A further increase of this ratio leads to a decrease of the selectivity in the case of U, Mo and mainly K oxides, while with Li, Bi, Sb, and Te oxides, the selectivity remains almost unchanged. No correlation between TPR profiles of doped catalysts and their selectivity was found. The most effective promoter of vanadia catalysts for the benzoic acid production is Sb oxide, possessing a very high selectivity at high conversion of toluene.

Methyl Group Oxidation

The effect of reaction parameters, additives and cooxidants on the selectivity of toluene oxidation to benzoic acid in the vapor phase has been studied. The presence of ethanol as cooxidant in the reaction stream does not improve the selectivity of toluene oxidation towards partial oxidation products via methyl group oxidation. However, the presence of carbon dioxide has a positive effect on the selectivity to benzoic acid formation. The catalysts were characterized by temperature programmed reduction.

Tem Characterization

An optical waveguide consists of a several-micron wide channel with a slightly different index of refraction than the host substrate; light can be trapped in the channel by total internal reflection.Optical waveguides can be formed from single-crystal LiNbO3 using the proton exhange technique. In this technique, polished specimens are masked with polycrystal1ine chromium in such a way as to leave 3-13 μm wide channels. These are held in benzoic acid at 249°C for 5 minutes allowing protons to exchange for lithium ions within the channels causing an increase in the refractive index of the channel and creating the waveguide. Unfortunately, optical measurements often reveal a loss in waveguiding ability up to several weeks after exchange.

Positive Effect

While the use of vinegar to fi ght against infections and other crucial conditions dates back to Hippocrates, recent research has found that vinegar consumption has a positive effect on biomarkers for diabetes, cancer, and heart diseases. Different types of vinegar have been used in the world during different time periods. Vinegar is produced by a fermentation process. Foods with a high content of carbohydrates are a good source of vinegar. Review of the results of different studies performed on vinegar components reveals that the daily use of these components has a healthy impact on the physiological and chemical structure of the human body. During the era of Hippocrates, people used vinegar as a medicine to treat wounds, which means that vinegar is one of the ancient foods used as folk medicine. The purpose of the current review paper is to provide a detailed summary of the outcome of previous studies emphasizing the role of vinegar in treatment of different diseases both in acute and chronic conditions, its in vivo mechanism and the active role of different bacteria.

Three Factor

This research is new in its attempt to take future time orientation, morningness orientation, and prospective memory as measures of mental prospection, and to examine a three-factor model that assumes working memory, mental prospection, and cognitive insight are independent but related higher-order cognitive constructs by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The three-factor model produced a good fit to the data. An alternative one-factor model was tested and rejected. The results suggest that working memory and cognitive insight are distinguishable, related constructs, and that both are distinct from, but negatively associated with, mental prospection. In addition, structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that working memory had a strong positive effect on cognitive insight and a moderate negative effect on mental prospection.

Abstract. This study uses implicit voice theory to examine the influence of employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation on employees’ voice behavior via voice efficacy. The results of a pretest of 302 employees using critical thinking questionnaires and a field study of 273 dyads of supervisors and their subordinates revealed that both employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation had a positive effect on employees’ voice and that voice efficacy mediates the relationships among employees’ critical thinking, leaders’ inspirational motivation, and employees’ voice. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
